How to Participate

This Plan is based on YOUR input! We want to know what you have to say! There will be many different ways to be involved throughout the process, and plenty of opportunities to speak up and be heard. Scroll down and click around to learn about how you can Get Involved!

6 Easy Ways to Get Involved

• Join our interest list
  This low-volume email list (about 3 or 4 emails a month; more when a big public event is approaching) is the best way to stay up-to-date on Imagine Austin. Find out when major documents are produced or when meetings approach. Want even more content? Read the blog or subscribe to its RSS feed.
• Take a survey!
  We'll be administering short surveys throughout the process. Take the Components of Vision survey today to help shape Austin's tomorrow.
• Host a Meeting-in-a-Box
  Gather 5 to 10 people you know, ask our questions, and send us what everyone thought. Easy and fun! Click here to find out about Meeting-in-a-Box
• Attend a Meeting
  The key events of this process will be four series of community-wide forums. Each series will include up to six meetings, repeated within the space of week, across various parts of the planning area. At least some meetings will offer childcare and/or Spanish translation services for participants. Click here to find out about upcoming meetings and events.
• Tell someone about the Comp Plan
  Simply telling other people about what we're doing and why it is important--the people you know are probably more influenced by you than an advertisement or a short news article.
• Post info on a website, social network, or newsletter
  If you have an audience, we have a blurb! Help us spread the word! Click here to get posting ideas or short blurbs.

Participation Plan

The very first thing we did once the planning process started was create a plan for YOUR participation. That's right, we have an entire plan and even a task force to make sure that you, the public, stay involved throughout the process.
